This role calls for deep experience in consumer product design and development across hardware and software - the leading tools and techniques, and a proven record of shipping successful products with impact across the full product development lifecycle.
What You'll Do

Lead the UX design and development of new hardware products and experiences.

Drive product experiences that combine ease of use, high-quality design craft, and moments of delight - delivering the absolute best value for the consumer at the price point.

Collaborate across the org, partnering closely with UX, Industrial Design, CMF, Product Development, Project Management, AD, and Consumer Insights.

Own deliverables end to end, from concept exploration to detailed specs across hardware and software.

  • Experience with 3D software tools is a strong plus

How You Work
  • Clear, effective communicator who can guide and influence cross-functional teams, fellow designers, and senior stakeholders
  • Flexible and effective across multiple simultaneous programs in a fast-paced environment
